RE )IB ERG, , to thp arspatches sent over by MAYNTz, the Messenger. Those who persisted in their as . tertian, that a negotiation had commenced, now assure us, with equal positiveness, that it is entirely put ,an end to by this answer. When the rumour of a negoti?tion . was first circulated, we contradiaed, it upon the best information. We stated Oaf', there was no foundation for the report of a pacific ,over ture from France, and added, that we believed that the report originated in some,general expressions of a'wish for the restoration' of peace, which were said to be contained in one of the dispatches from the Austrian Government. With respea to the traordinary times, and who seemed to feel a kind 0„..,1* horrbr in following any precedents, except those ; "which. bad been set by the • Revolutionary Go, ments of France. We should have beard_ the same d6.Strines over again, if teport had made the Marquis WELLESLBY adviie his Majesty not to an swer the Letter from himself, and the Marquis would have been exposed to quite n much abuse by the Party, as Lord GRENVILLE' was on the occasion of BooNArAßTE's,celebrate'd Letter in 1800. We have reason to believe that the attack made • . Upon the Island of Bourbon was not made with any view. to the permanent retention of : the ISland, and that it was abandoned as soon as the ship;, stores,- &c: had been secured. The possession of I lie bland of Bourbon, without the Mauritius, would be useless., becatise it possessds no harbour, and in the pre , ,ent unfortunate postnre of affairs in India, a suai , ,ient 'n;.!n - ili . er of .troops. could not perhaps be , : arLd le,r ;In atiack upon the latter. We speak, however, only from coujeeture, because. no official information has. yet been received upon the subject. question of a _negotiation, in the present situation of affairs, we are surprised how it could enter into the contemplation of any rational man. Great Bri tain could not negociate but in conjOnetion' with her Allies, Spain and Portugal, and we cannot suppose . thpt4iCONAPARTE would easily abandon his :plans upon these Countries, particularly the fortner.• is also reported, that BuoNApARTE has Written a Letter to the King, and ha's requested that his Ma- , jesty would deign to return an answer from himself, and that Ministers . have advised his Majesty to comply with his request: To this report Wodo not attach the slightest credit, and indeed 'should have hardly thought it worth notice, if it had not been for the phrposo of making a few' observations upon the manner in which th;s subjea talcen up in a Morn= , ing, Paper devoted to opp,sition. It is obvionl that the The Margrtis WEr.LESLBY has been attacked in a Hording Paper of this day, on account of some re gulations respecting Newspapers which that Noble .m 4n thought proper to adopt while he held the ar duous.and important situation of Governor-General in India ; and hence the writer infers, that his Lord ship is likely to be adverse to the 'f'ree4otu of the Press in this country. But is there any such analogy in the two ,:.nations as will warrant such deduc tions ? The situation of our settlements to India is very different from that of this country, and nay demand very diffeirent measures of domestic t;egulA tion. Paper alluded to attaches no sort of credit to this ttjrg.; tnit still an opportunity of attacking - the Mar:, Luis WELLESLiY could not be emitted; - adeerdingly he is gravely Censured' tor giving such unconstitu tional advice, and a hope is ex,pressed, " that no Minister- of the Kuw ill' presume to set I hose' rule's, so wisely estahlisbed . by (MI-forefathers, aside," This Lingo4ge is certai;dy not such as we'should have ex peAed from such a quarter, and could only have proeeede.d from .a determination to attack Ministers It is well known that DUANE, one of the most seditious scribblers now in America, was in India, where he was th e t.,ditor. of • public, print ; and where he endeavourol to taint the . principles of our countrymen. It was found necessary *ci - ordet that man to leave our Settlements, and 'he carried his Jacobinical principles to America, Where he was sure of.a good market for them. There cane, be little doubt that DUANE left many persons in India Who were not unfriendly t j o his doctrines, for, otherwise, .he Would hardly have ventured to to give them birth in that quarter, What then would have been thought of the Marquis WELLES LE if in the high and important situation which' he held in India, he had suffered these, doCtrines to be cirenlated„ , and th9se controversies to take place in public Newspapers, .which might have endangered A pt 0,1 . 011 c by• political dissensions among out: countrymen, but which might hare'extencle.d - their influence among the Native POWers, and gradually have seasoned their minds with principl4 calculated to undermine our authority. Wes the r..nouyinous Writer pretend to knew enough of the state of afEnrs in India, 'at the time that the Marquis WELLESLEY deemed it proper to ique the regulations in question, to justify his. observations?—:No, for he contents himself with a reference to the doctrines, usages, and : legal authorities of this country, : which, for ought be knows, are wholly inapplicable to the statenf our Eastern possesSions. The politica4 ,copclnet,' of the Marquis WELLESLEY here, as well as 'abroad, should detertnine ht charatiter with his countrywten, and the anonymous writer will not be able to produce one sentiment ever uttered by his Lerdship, iq hii legislative capacity at home, which will place him in any other light then that of one heartily attached to . the true principles of , the Constitution. 'lle stood atlively for Ward when that •ConstitutiOn was en dangered, or thought to be so, by the prevalence of French principles, soon after. thedreadful event of the . French Revolution, which not only ensnared. Vulgar minds, but seduced seine, persona, who, by their talents and education, Might be conceived to have been sufficien* fortified against the infettion. The Marquis then, in the 1-I;inse of Commons, with great eloquence, resisted the insidious deetrines of France, and upheld those of the British Constitu . tion; but he said' nothing that. could be in the least 'degree construed into an hostility to the, essential , rights of Englishmen, and all the lust freedom of the ENlist) Piesi. To revert then to tneasures which policy might imperiously require in India, and to endeavoUr to bring o:liirn it .on his political re.pwa. lion in this country, indicates either personal en mity, or such a narrow-minded view of,things, as tends 'to disgrace the writer, not ths- distinguished Charaaer a , ainsi whom his feeble shafts have been directed on this vceasion. upon every ground, wi:hout any regard to justice or consistency,- We certainly do not wish:to see the.
